Oracle Ends The Week With VirtualBox 4 Beta 4

Phoronix: Oracle Ends The Week With VirtualBox 4 Beta 4

Oracle's been on a wild ride the past few days. Besides Oracle's second quarter earnings having beaten their own expectations and that of the street, they've been releasing updates this week to a number of their Sun-acquired open-source projects. MySQL 5.5 was finally released, Open Office 3.3 made it out (along with a new web-based Oracle Cloud Office product), and their German counterparts have been releasing VirtualBox beta releases like mad...

What's even the point of such fast betas? No one gets a chance to download and really test them out. They might as well just do internal QA cycles with this rate...

Normally I don't complain about release early release often, but at this rate, by the time you download it and install it, a new beta is out!

I downloaded beta2, pointed out that they had broken the ability to install Jolicloud, and they had it fixed in about two days and released another beta shortly after. So, maybe I'm partially to blame.
